Tall Colossi in the Court of Ramesses II at the ancient Egyptian Luxor Temple, Nile Valley, Egypt. The temple was built by Amenhotep III, completed by Tutankhamun then added to by Rameses II. Towards the rear is a granite shrine dedicated to Alexander the Great and in another part, was a Roman encampment. The temple has been in almost continuous use as a place of worship right up to the present day.
